Klagetoh/Three Turkey Ruin Navajo Rug : Helen Bia : Churro 1512

Master Weaver Helen Bia started weaving as a teenager. She is one of the best weavers we work with, as she spends the time to make her weavings extremely tight and putting special intention and precision into her details. This weaving was on the loom for approximately 6 months.

Helen has won many awards from the Gallup All Indian Inter-Tribal Ceremonial. Her weavings have also been in exhibitions at the Desert Caballeros Western Museum. Helen also has weavings featured on page 6 and 33 of “The Fine Art of Navajo Weaving”, circa 1984.

In her early days of weaving she would dye her wool with vegetal colors, for the weaving design, unique to her family – Three Turkey Ruin/Burntwater.

This beautiful weaving is reminiscent of her earlier Three Turkey Ruin Navajo rugs, however she used aniline dyed Churro wool here.2nd place 2017 Gallup Inter-Tribal Ceremonial
